TIME FOR RESISTANCE
SWIFT ACTION URGED CALL BY DUFF COOPER (British Official Win-lcss.) Reed. 9 a.m. RUGBY, Mar. 28. A plea for closer working between political parties in the face of‘the menace of aggressor States, was made in a speech by the former First Lord of the Admiralty, Mr. A. Duff Cooper. Referring to Signor Mussolini’s speech on the occasion of the Fascist anniversary in Rome on Sunday, Mr. Du IT Cooper said that had such language been heard 10 years ago, it would have provoked horror. The story that Herr Hitler wanted only to unite the Germans in Germany had now been exposed and exploded by himself, with neither excuse nor apology. The time, therefore, had come for resistance. He thought that war could still be avoided, but only by swift, resolute and united action.
Referring to the need for political unity, he urged that other parties should be asked to share in the task of a National Government. The sight of all parties rallying under one leader would have a heartening effect throughout the world. He thought d was desirable also to form a smaller body within the whole Cabinet in order to secure rapidity of decision.
